Wilson was a super-tall, left-hand-hitting first baseman who came to the Giants in the same deal that brought Rich Aurilia from Texas. He had some pop, but also had the usual trouble with breaking pitches that usually separates the pretenders from the contenders. He got a cup of coffee with the Giants in 1996.

Anyway, Wilson had a nickname (at least behind his back) of “one-tool player.” It had nothing to do with baseball, and I’ll leave its origin to your imagination. I had no idea he was coaching.
